Diabetes Panel
The diabetes panel evaluates your glucose metabolism - HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin and C-peptide. It's used to screen for and monitor diabetes and prediabetes.
Also known as: Glucose Panel · Diabetes Screen · Glycemic Panel
Preparation: Usually drawn fasting (8–12 hours).
HbA1c reflects your average sugar over ~3 months, fasting glucose is a snapshot, and insulin and C-peptide show how your pancreas is working. Together they give the full picture.

Frequently asked questions
Why is HbA1c better than fasting glucose?
HbA1c averages your sugar over ~3 months and doesn't depend on whether you ate this morning. The two complement each other.
Do I need to fast?
For fasting glucose and insulin, yes (usually 8+ hours); HbA1c can be drawn any time. Follow your lab's instructions.
